Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
If anyone can think of any easy way to do what I want to do then let me know.
Curently traawling through the mountain of find and replace postings on the forum.
Simply open file, find Word in line then replace word1 with word2. Then write change to file.
Word is a unique field in file so will only exist on one line. Word1 will only be present once per line.
cheers
Nick
Where address finds you the line, then pat1 is replaced by pat2. Only occurs once per line.

ppi::token::word5.16
PPI::Token::Word(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Token::Word(3)NAME
PPI::Token::Word - The generic "word" Token
INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Word
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
A "PPI::Token::Word" object is a PPI-specific representation of several different types of word-like things, and is one of the most common
Token classes found in typical documents.
Specifically, it includes not only barewords, but also any other valid Perl identifier including non-operator keywords and core functions,
and any include "::" separators inside it, as long as it fits the format of a class, function, etc.
METHODS
There are no methods available for "PPI::Token::Word" beyond those provided by its PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent classes.
We expect to add additional methods to help further resolve a Word as a function, method, etc over time. If you need such a thing right
now, look at Perl::Critic::Utils.
literal
Returns the value of the Word as a string. This assumes (often incorrectly) that the Word is a bareword and not a function, method,
keyword, etc. This differs from "content" because "Foo'Bar" expands to "Foo::Bar".
method_call
Answers whether this is the name of a method in a method call. Returns true if yes, false if no, and nothing if unknown.
TO DO
- Add "function", "method" etc detector methods
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
